[Scan-DC] Washingtonian: This Illegal Drone Footage ofDC IsBeautiful

[Dewey]

No argument with the question, after all, we are talking about human lives!
The problem is as Merlin already pointed out... "model aircraft" are
specifically listed as restricted in the DC FRZ.  However, it was the NTSB
Administrative Law Judge who pointed out the problem with the apparent lack
of definition for "model aircraft".  I'm not a lawyer, do not play one, and
don't remember if I've ever stayed at a Holiday Inn, but I still say that
the precedence has been set with the overturning of the FAA's fine.

The FAA may well be overreaching on the general subject of those 
model airplanes called "drones".
But is anyone going to take them on for their rules for the DC Flight 
Restricted Zone?
